# LogLayer
[](https://www.npmjs.com/package/loglayer)
[](https://www.npmjs.com/package/loglayer)
[](http://www.typescriptlang.org/)
`loglayer` is a unified logger that routes logs to various logging libraries, cloud providers, files, and OpenTelemetry while providing a fluent API for specifying log messages, metadata and errors.
- For full documentation, read the [docs](https://loglayer.dev).
- [Older 4.x documentation](https://github.com/loglayer/loglayer/tree/4.x)
```javascript
// Example using the Pino logging library with LogLayer
// You can also start out with a console logger and swap to another later!
import { LogLayer } from 'loglayer';
import { pino } from 'pino';
import { PinoTransport } from '@loglayer/transport-pino';
import { redactionPlugin } from '@loglayer/plugin-redaction';
const log = new LogLayer({
// Multiple loggers can also be used at the same time.
transport: new PinoTransport({
logger: pino()
}),
// Plugins modify log data before it's shipped to your logging library.
plugins: [
redactionPlugin({
paths: ['password'],
censor: '[REDACTED]',
}),
],
// Put context data in a specific field (default is flattened)
contextFieldName: 'context',
// Put metadata in a specific field (default is flattened)
metadataFieldName: 'metadata',
})
// persisted data that is always included in logs
log.withContext({
path: "/",
reqId: "1234"
})
log.withPrefix("[my-app]")
.withError(new Error('test'))
// data that is included for this log entry only
.withMetadata({ some: 'data', password: 'my-pass' })
// Non-object data only (numbers and strings only)
// this can be omitted to just log an object / error
// by using .errorOnly() / .metadataOnly() instead of withError() / withMetadata()
.info('my message')
```

## Development Setup
This is a monorepo using [`pnpm`](https://pnpm.io/installation) for package management and [`turbo`](https://turbo.build/repo/docs/getting-started/installation) for build orchestration.
If you're looking to contribute or work with the source code, follow these steps:
1. Clone the repository
2. Install dependencies:
```bash
pnpm install
```
3. Build all packages:
```bash
turbo build
```
## Running Tests
To run tests for all packages, use the following command:
```bash
turbo test
```
## Viewing docs
The docs use [vitepress](https://vitepress.dev/). To view the docs locally, run:
